Discussion Overview
The discussion centers around the introduction of unusual animal crossing signs in Vancouver, which feature various animals such as crocodiles, elephants, and kangaroos. Participants explore the reasons behind this creative approach to signage and its implications for pedestrian behavior.

Main Points Raised
- One participant notes the new animal crossing signs in Vancouver, suggesting they were introduced because people were ignoring traditional deer crossing signs.

- A question is raised about whether people are supposed to ignore deer crossings, suggesting confusion about pedestrian crossing behaviors.

Aren't they supposed to ignore deer crossings? It seems to me that people should cross at pedestrian crossings.
